Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Suresh Kalmadi on Thursday slammed the BCCI for not sending teams to the Asian Games in China, saying the Cricket Board is not interested because the multi-sport event offers no money.

“It has become commercial…cricket has become very commercial. (In Olympic and Asian Games) There are only medals, no money. So, I don’t think anybody from cricket world will be interested in taking part,” Kalmadi told reporters.

He was reacting to BCCI’s decision not to send cricket teams — both men’s and women’s — to the Asian Games to be held in the Chinese city of Guangzhou between November 12 and 27.

BCCI cited international commitments to stay away from the Games where cricket is making its debut in Twenty20 format.
